Harkness Park Nature Trail and Bunny Spotting

Harkness Park is a state park located on the waterfront in Waterford, CT. This is a large, grassy park, with paved, car traffic-free roads to learn how to ride a bike on, fields to fly a kite in, gardens to explore, a beach to look for treasures on and a nature trail where you can examine all the wildlife neighbors that make their home in Southeastern Connecticut. It’s easy to see squirrels and a variety of bird species here, but what is most interesting is the amount of bunnies you can find! They’re very shy, so walk carefully and quietly, and you’ll be sure to find many along the hedges along the beach and on the nature trail. You can find the trail just at the edge of the parking lot as you come in on the right , and travels out toward the beach through the Goshen Cove National Wildlife Sanctuary!
